This stuff is so stupid.
Puberty blockers aren't transitioning, it's pausing until a person is.old enough to decide if they do want to transition. Because not all effects of puberty are reversible with hormone therapy.
But I was over 6 feet tall and needing to shave my face before I was a teenager. Even though I never thought of transitioning, I would have preferred being on puberty blockers so I didn't look old enough to be some of my classmates dads.
And unfortunately early puberty can be a lot more problematic with girls than it was for me.
It just never made sense why so many idiots are mad puberty is being delayed. It's like they want to see a lot of children running around with the bodies of adults and the minds/experience of children...
Iโd be curious to see how many people on puberty blockers go through a full transition.
Edit: I googled it after and apparently the number is extraordinarily high, like 98%+
That's the frustrating thing about this whole debate. Everyone with any knowledge knows that puberty blockers are a safe and sensible intervention with "gender questioning" kids. Like it took you maybe 30 seconds to figure this out. There is no ambiguity here. Anyone who says otherwise is being incredibly dishonest
